Survival After the Rapture!

If you read this after things happen this is a guide to survival.
I think we will astonished at how many God loving people will be left behind; Regardless of their Religion. Many Preachers and Ministers included;
although all children will go. What will our government have to say about this? Will they blame the disappearance of the multitudes on an act of God,
such as an earthquake, perhaps on Aliens? Yes it sounds strange. I don’t plan to be around after to find out but in the event you are left behind
here is a survival manual of sorts. You can’t save your flesh but you’ll have the opportunity to save your soul. Many Atheists will be converted,
as well, and get a second chance but God wont be here it will and will be much harder but is still very possible. A warning of caution this may be
disturbing for many.

Near the mid-point of the Tribulation Period, the Antichrist will be assassinated, but will miraculously be resurrected after Satan himself indwells
his body, copying the resurrection of Christ. I believe it is a mortal head wound so watch for this. The world will marvel after him thinking he is
God showing miracles in the skies and more.

If you aren’t a believer or plan to be left behind I’d advise you to stock up on EVERYTHING! Food, Herbal medicine, etc. You’ll only need a 7
year supply, or 3 and ½ year depending on the timing of events to unfold. Please continue reading. This is simply meant as a guide for survival. I
don’t claim to be any saint. I’m a Christian but love to throw parties. I’m no different than any of you. We all sin. Some ask for forgiveness
and others do not. That is the distinction between many of us here. There are no rules, it’s a simple task. Ask and you shall receive. Nothing more.
It isn’t complicated.

Those who make it to the place prepared for them in the wilderness will be spared the Antichrist's wrath, if prepared.

Much of the book of Revelation will only be understood completely when it actually happens, which is why NOW we can see it.

First What is the Rapture

This is an event that will not be hidden. The concept of the rapture has already been made known to the masses. It will be treated with ridicule,
contempt and mockery by the world's media, but God will see to it that it will be highly publicized before it occurs just so that those left behind
might still come to their senses. It will occur in the open, and everybody left behind will know someone who was raptured.
It will happen suddenly, unexpectedly, and lightning fast--"in the twinkling of an eye," as the Bible puts it. And there will be evidence all over
the world that this event occurred. Some national leaders will disappear, celebrities in entertainment and professional sports will disappear, entire
families will disappear, disbelieving spouses will see their mates vanish, children will disappear. Bank accounts, homes, cars, businesses and
relationships will be left behind. The problem for the world's leaders will be trying to convince people that it didn't happen.
After the Rapture
Shortly after the rapture, a seven-year period known in the Bible as the Great Tribulation will take place. It will begin with the signing of a peace
agreement between Israel and her enemies and it will end with the physical return of Jesus Christ to set up His kingdom on earth. In between, will be
seven years of terror for those on earth. The following events and trends will take place in that seven-year period:

o A man will arise who will achieve victory after victory both in politics and in war(Rev 13:7). This man, who should be easily identified by his
rapid rise and popularity, is your the anti-christ. Many people believe that this person must be Jewish. That is, in order for Jews to accept him as
Messiah, only a Jew will suffice. This is not necessarily the case. The Bible does not specify that he is a Jew, and it does not specify nationality.
Only God-fearing Jews will require a Jewish Messiah. The liberal, ungodly Jews who dominate Israel will be as lost when it comes to Biblical truth as
the Gentiles of the world and will be deceived by his charisma, and more than likely, the desires of the world's media. Currently the new nickname
for the United States is the Great Satan. This may have some significance.
o Violence will increase in all parts of the world, both nation against nation (ethnic wars) and domestically. Men will indiscriminately slay one
another as peace will be removed from the earth (Rev 6:3-4).
o There will be extreme inflation, poverty, and lack of food as one day's wages will buy enough food for one day for one person (Rev 6:5-6).
o In a very short period of time, one-quarter of the earth's population will be killed due to wars, famine, pestilence and wild beasts. These wild
beasts could very well be viruses, bacteria and other microbes. In late 1995, Time magazine ran a cover story on the rise of new infections and called
microbes "malevolent little beasts" (Rev 6:7-8).
o Many people will experience a religious conversion and become followers of Jesus Christ and most of these people will be hunted down and killed (Dan
7:21).
o There will be a great earthquake, the sun will be blackened, the moon will turn red and all mountains and islands (which are underwater mountains)
will be moved (Joel 2:30-32).
o There will be a brief period of calm on the earth following this great earthquake which will give those who survive a false sense of security.
o One-third of the earth, one-third of all of trees and all the green grass will be burned up due to a comet or meteor that hits the earth (Rev 8:7).
o A meteor will hit the earth causing the sea to become like blood, killing one-third of all sea creatures and destroying one-third of all shipping
(Rev 8:8-9).
o A "star" named Wormwood will fall from the sky and poison one-third of all fresh water killing many people (Rev 8:10-11).
o The sun, moon and stars will be darkened by one-third. The day and night will be reduced by one-third. There is some speculation that this means the
rotation of the earth will be changed so that a day lasts only 16 hours instead of 24 hours (Rev 8:12).
o Fearsome locust-like beings will be released from underground who only attack people who are not followers of Jesus Christ. These attacks will be
very painful but last only 5 months (Rev 9:1-11).
o An army of 200 million horse-like creatures will kill one-third of mankind (Rev 9:13-19).
o Two men (known as witnesses, see item 7 below) of Jewish origin will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ for 3 1/2 years and be killed at the midpoint
of the 7 year tribulation. These two will be responsible for a 3 1/2 year world-wide drought and will be killed by the anti-christ (also known as the
beast in the Bible).
o People will be required to receive a mark on their right hand or forehead in order to buy and sell. Those who receive this mark will develop a
loathsome and malignant sore on their bodies within a short period of time (Rev 13:13-18).
o The oceans will chemically change and become like the blood of a dead man (congealed?) and everything in the sea will die (Rev 16:3).
o The fresh waters will become like blood (Rev 16:4-7).
o The sun will scorch the people on earth with fierce heat (Rev 16:8-9).
o The throne of the anti-christ and his kingdom will become darkened (Rev 16:10-11).
o The Euphrates river will dry up allowing the kings of the east to march westward (Rev 16:12).
o The kings of the world will gather their armies together to battle God at Armageddon. There will be an earthquake so great that all of the mountains
and islands will disappear. There will be hailstones weighing close to 100 pounds that will crush the armies that have gathered (Rev 16:17-22).
o Shortly after this great earthquake, Jesus Christ will return with His army to claim the earth as His possession (Zech 14:3-5).

The Two Witnesses
These two men are God's gift to the people of the earth who refused to submit to the lordship of Jesus Christ prior to the rapture, but who will
recognize the error in their life and seek God knowing the terrible mistake they have made. These two men will proclaim the gospel and provide hope
for those left behind. Their message is for the salvation of the soul. They will have no message as to how you can avoid the hell that life on earth
has become, because there is no hope to avoid that tribulation. If you are left on earth, then your destiny is to suffer and more than likely die. But
you still have the hope of salvation. Listen to what these two men are preaching and turn to God.
The purpose of all the misery that these two witnesses inflict on the earth dwellers is to turn people back to God in repentance. The misery will be
so great that when the world dictator does finally kill these two, the world will rejoice in a Christmas-like celebration, giving gifts to one
another.
The 144,000 Jewish Witnesses
Shortly after the rapture, God will call His army of 144,000 Jewish believers into service to provide a voice of hope for Jews throughout the
world.
Money
Hard currency will become obsolete. This is no surprise, as banks and governments have been working to eliminate currency, coin money and paper
transactions for decades. Currency and coin is expensive to produce, lends itself readily for drug trafficking and, with high tech equipment, is too
easily counterfeited. Banks desire to eliminate the teller position as an expense item, and with the elimination of paper checks and currency, all
financial transactions can be handled with a computer. The debit card will become the tool for all personal financial transactions. However, at some
point after the rapture, probably right after the two witnesses are killed, everyone will be required to get a mark on their right hand or forehead in
order to buy and sell. Do not, do not, do not under any circumstances participate by receiving this mark. All those who receive this mark known as
"the mark of the beast" are doomed for eternity.

Safety Concerns
This era will be the most violent of times in the history of the world. Death, brutality and destruction will be part of everyday life. One of the
defining characteristics of the last days following the rapture will be a lack of peace. There will be civil wars throughout the world: people will
kill one another indiscriminately. Random acts of violence will fill people with fear. Car-jackings, home invasions, drive by shootings, and bombings
will all increase with an intensity that will leave people with absolutely no sense of security.
In order to survive this time, you will need to remove yourself from society and live in a remote area that is difficult to access. Getting together
with a group of like-minded people would provide additional support and safety.
As mentioned earlier, stock up on food, medicines, living supplies, weaponry and gold. You will need enough for 7 years. Don't plan on being able to
supplement your food with hunting and fishing because the stocks of wild animals and fish will have been depleted and destroyed by the 3 1/2 year
worldwide drought and three successive meteor-like or comet-like objects that strike the earth sometime after the rapture.

Health Concerns
Prior to the rapture, the world experienced an increase in health-related catastrophes, an increase in new infectious diseases and an increase in the
return of diseases thought to have been eradicated or brought under control. The past two decades have brought on AIDS, EBOLA virus, flesh-eating
bacteria, the return of tuberculosis, incurable gonorrhea, herpes and many other virtually incurable sexually transmitted diseases. After the rapture,
things do not get better, as one quarter of the world's population will die as the result of wars, famine and plague.

In addition to all this, because of the poor economic situation worldwide and the 3 1/2 year drought that depletes the world's supply of water,
sanitation practices will deteriorate even in what were advanced nations in Europe and North America. With the short supply of water, there won't be
sufficient water for flushing toilets, taking baths, washing clothes and transporting wastewater to treatment facilities. This will result in the
increase of typhus, cholera, salmonella and E.coli infections.
Therefore, since you have decided to reject Christ's offer to join in the rapture, your concern is how to maintain good health in the post rapture
era. You must build a supply of multiple vitamins with particular emphasis on anti-oxidants such as C and E and minerals. It will also be necessary to
have a supply of disinfectants, particularly one that can be added to water to make it potable.

I have seen first hand of the ability of GOD to be able to physicaly change everyones minds to give them a new history and cover up events. So imo
most will not even notice that people are missing. It could have already happened. If it comes anytime soon i think all should go down fighting. It is
said that there will be no place to hide so a good death would be a good reward.

The 'rapture' is nonbiblical and easily disproven using scripture.
So I wouldn't worry about survival after a pretrib rapture.
There won't be one.

This. There doesn't seem to be any evidence (to me at least) to support a pre-tribulation rapture in the bible. What most proponents of the pre-trib
rapture use as evidence is the following passage from Thessalonians:

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ
will rise first. 17Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall
always be with the Lord.

The problem is that this event seems to occur at the second coming, which happens AFTER the tribulation, not before it.

We also have this passage from Matthew which contradicts the idea of a pre-tribulation rapture:

Matthew 24:29-31
King James Version (KJV) 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall
from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man
coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven
to the other.

Going with the sentiment of others. The Rapture, as most Christians believe in it, is a falsehood. They have been deceived and lied to.

The Bible, itself, gives the definition of Tribulation. It is the suffering and persection of Christians. The Bible never promised that Christians
would be free of suffering, in fact, it warns Christians to expect it. The Rapture, in fact, will not happen untl after the 7 year reign, after the
Great Tribulation, which many believe we are actually dead in the middle of, right now.

The story of the wheat and tares in fact, supports this, as does "The meek shall inherit the earth."

Why would God take the good, and leave the bad behind? That is the exact opposite of what we are told is going to happen. The wheat and the tares
story in fact, says that the tares, the bad, are removed, leaving behind the good, (the meek) who shall inherit the earth.

At the end of the 7 year reign, the rapture will happen, and then there will be a stillness in Heaven for a time. The dead shall be risen, and the
Judgement Day shall come. Those taken in the end shall not see nor taste of death before they are judged, but be clothed in white raments and stand
at the right hand of the Lord.

Nowhere in Scripture does it support a rapture prior to the Great Tribulation.

If you have not already done so, I urge you to watch Daniel's Timeline on youtube. There is very much that we have been lied to and misled about in
Church. However, if you read the scriptures yourself, the truth is there. Don't believe what others tell you, read it for yourself. Daniel's Timeline,
even if you disagree with the dates, will reveal a lot if truth about the scriptures, and how we have intentionally been deceived.

So much so, that even preachers and priests when interviewed, will admit to this truth, yet, they refuse to tell the truth to their congregations.
They state that they fear revealing the truth now would be upsetting, and cause them to leave the current church because they were lied to. Well, of
course they would. Why stay where someone has been lying to you for so many years alreaady? Instead, these preachers and priests would rather continue
to lie to, and deceive their followers.

Didn't that Gifford lady take a shot to the face and remarkably went back to work? Hmmm....

Not that i believe in this stuff, but if it went down that way. I would certainly just stand around in befuddlement for the rest of my time.

I think a better recourse would be to band together and fight jesus as a team. We would have better odds that way. Anyone with nards has a
significant weakness that could be easily used against them. Uh uunng. No hellfire for me. I 'll go down fighting.

Does that include priests who rape kids and/or cover up such abhorrent acts?

I agree, and this actually became the basis of teaching in many churches across the country, and gained in popularity greatly since 1946. In fact, the
truth is taught in seminary schools, but, they go to their congregations and knowingly preach the Rapture pholosophy, simply because of it's
popularity. I have watched many interviews on youtube in reference to this, and it is rather revealing when our preists and preachers come out of
seminary, and immediately set out to decieve.

As I said, Daniel's Timeline was very revealing, not only in the dates that are outlined in the Bible, but how, exactly, the scripture does tell us
what to expect. My entire paradigm was changed by watching that video. I know many disagree with the whole date thing, but the video goes much further
for me.

Sadly, many Christians only get exposure to the Bible, and religion in church, and only read certain things in the Bible. Sometimes, people may read,
yet, misunderstand what they read. Many are happy to have someone stand at the pulpit and be told what the Bible says, rather than finding out for
themselves.

For me, it was a matter of discernment. For whatever reason, I was not understanding what I was reading, perhaps it was not time, or I was not ready.
Now, however, I have no doubts, and it is very clear.

Watching the video pointed things out, and when I read them, for myself, I had a whole new understanding. It was literally lifechanging for me. I am
so very grateful to have seen that video.

Why do we have to stock up on "herbal medicines"?

A tried and true bottle of Tylenol is UnGodly?

I should have said medical supplies, like bandages, wraps, rubbing alcohol, peroxide, neosporin, dental floss for stitches,and antibiotics like the
ones they sell at pet stores for fish. Just to mention a few. Stuff like that is good for any survival supply or first aid kit, one at the house and
one in the car.

I was raised to believe in the pre-tribulation rapture, and discovered through my own investigation that it was a concept in error, so I completely
agree with everything you have stated here. I'm curious though: I noticed you feel that the pre-tribulation doctrine is an intentional deception. What
do you think is the purpose of said deception? I've often wondered if the intent behind that deception is to shake the faith of those who
believed it when they find they are still on earth suffering through these events with the rest of the world?

What are your thoughts on this? I would like to hear what FlyersFan feels about this as well (or any other Christians here who don't believe in a
pre-trib rapture).

a reply to: LibertygalI'm not sure we will want to inherit the earth since it is said that the earth will pass away. A pit of
fire will consume this rock.

Well, actually, it says after a thousand years of peace, the earth will be rolled up like a scroll, and the new Jerusalem will replace it. I forget
the exact quote, but the whole "no man, not even the Son, shall know the time nor day" is in reference to that exact event. Not Jesus' return, as
many think it is.
